Departure Lounge with Miranda Nation

Episode 407,   Mar 04, 2020, 10:36 PM

UNDERTOW is the story of two women whose lives become dangerously enmeshed. Grieving the loss of her stillborn baby, Claire becomes suspicious of her husband’s relationship with a feisty young woman, Angie. When she discovers Angie is pregnant, Claire develops an increasingly irrational obsession with her that puts both their lives at risk. Only when Claire is confronted with the brutal truth behind Angie’s pregnancy can both women begin to heal.
UNDERTOW, the acclaimed first feature by award winning director Miranda Nation is releasing nationally on March 5, 2020.
A MIFF Premiere Fund film, written and directed by Miranda Nation and produced by Lyn Norfor (HOT MESS), UNDERTOW stars Olivia DeJonge (Elvis, The Visit), Laura Gordon (The Reckoning), Rob Collins (Total Control) and Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road), and was shot in the evocative Geelong and Surf Coast region where Nation grew up. The film had its US Premiere at the Austin Film Festival and International Premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival last year.
Geelong's own Miranda checked into the Departure with Stampsy and Josh to chat about her debut as Director, filming in Geelong and who she was stopped by at the Wool Museum.
